Default What fish to keep

I just got a new tank set up from a friend.
The dimension is 2ft wide, 2 ft long and 2.5ft high.
It is running on Eheim Cannister filter.
Any noce bros here can help give me some suggestions on what kind of fish to keep? He is keeping some angel fish in there currently. He will not be giving the fishes to me.

Picture of the tank is in my gallery under new tank.

So its a big pc of drift wood and keep tetras? How many tetras can I keep in the tank? Or is it nicer with some stones also? How many types of tetras are there and are they easy to keep?

How many can I keep in this kind of set up? Also how much is a piece of tetra? Are they difficult to look after?

ever though about doing a marine tank ? This sort of shape, ie the depth.. will look great with corals, anemone, clown fish and yellow tangs... and star fish.. its more challenging.. but well worth the effort.
